"Successfully Raising Grandchildren" by Kevin & Brenda Barnes
About the BookWhile sitting at a local coffee shop in our city, I began thinking about how grateful I am to have been blessed with the family that God has given me. While my wife, Brenda, and I were raising our three sons, Kevin Jr., Keith and Kenneth, we never did think we would have the blessing of seeing our grandchildren. After all, my youngest son, Kenneth, just recently graduated from high school. We thought that after our three boys were grown, we would be finished with raising or helping to raise children. However we quickly discovered that after you have raised your children, you must also help to successfully raise your grandchildren. Many of the same principles in good parenting apply to good grandparenting, and this book will help you work out the differences, and successfully raise your grandchildren for God's glory.

Dr. Kevin D. Barnes, Sr. was born and raised in Donaldsonville, Louisiana. He is married to the lovely Brenda Barnes and is the father of three sons: Kevin Jr., Keith, and Kenneth Barnes. In July 1986, Pastor Barnes received his license to preach and delivered his first sermon at his home church, White Oak Grove in Oakland, CA. Pastor Barnes attended the Bay Cities Bible Institute and the Sacramento Theological Seminary Bible College, and was later ordained a minister of the Gospel. He was elected pastor of the Abyssinian Missionary Baptist Church in Oakland, CA in January 1992. Since being elected Pastor, his
primary focus has been winning souls and encouraging the people of God.
Brenda Barnes, the great and gracious First Lady of Abyssinian Baptist Church, a virtuous woman of God who loves God's people with all her heart. While this woman of God is blessed, she is grateful for her most precious gift, her children, Kevin Jr., Keith, and Kenneth, and her grandchildren, Aleijah Kevin III, Kamani, Keith Jr., and Kyndal.
First Lady Barnes is not your typical traditional First Lady, who is an out front-kind-of-person. However, it is in her heart to diligently work behind the scene, praying with and for our church that we can make a difference in the many lives God has allowed her and her husband to serve. She has the uttermost respect for her husband's leadership, our church and how the Lord has guided their lives. God provided her with the insight of her calling early on in her Christian journey, which is to "pray, encourage and serve" and seek to do God's will.
